NT Domain An NT domain is a logical grouping of servers or hosts on a
network. They are presented in a Network Neighborhood as
one entity for ease of access. NT Domains are very similar to
Microsoft Workgroups. They look identical in the Network
Neighborhood. The difference is that a domain provides for
common control of network security and access privileges. A
user logs into the domain vs a single server. By logging into
the Domain the user can have access to all the resources of
the domain without requiring multiple log-ins.
Partition A defined storage area on a disk. Each partition is treated as a
separate volume and has its own icon on the desktop.

printer, modem, graphics tablet, etc
Operating System This is the primary program a computer will run on startup.
Applications are normally run on top of Operating Systems.
Primary Domain Controller
This is the computer on an NT Domain that handles security
and maintenance functions for the domain. There can also be
a backup domain controller which will operate should the
Primary Domain Controller be unavailable.
Protocol A protocol is a specific communications method between two
computers over a network. Similar to two people speaking a
foreign language, both computers must speak the same Proto-
col, or language, to transfer data to and from each other.
